Such cases are not rare and have been reported by the media before. The “Auntie Li in Shanghai was deceived” that Zhimei once analyzed for everyone is the real experience.
I hope that after everyone sees it, they can forward it to the elderly around you, and don’t be deceived by these bad guys.
In July 2020, 67-year-old Auntie Li was wandering around the community and was stopped by an employee of a foot bath and health club with the words “Yuanzhentang”, saying that Auntie Li could experience it Their pedicure services , do not charge for dissatisfaction.
The result of the experience is of course quite satisfactory. Aunt Li was encouraged to take advantage of the situation to apply for a card, saying that it would be cheaper.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the free lunch is often the most expensive. Aunt Li has since become the focus of the “Yuan Zhen Tang” scam.
Come here every week to soak my feet and talk about daily routines. Once I go to Auntie Li’s disease history, family conditions, and economic situation, the liar will be clear.
Because Auntie Li has been suffering from severe depression for decades, she went to many hospitals, large and small, but her health was always poor.
Wellness Center says:
Western medicine can’t do anything about your disease. It can’t be detected by instruments. We treat the root cause through meridian detoxification and health preservation. Western medicine treats the symptoms, and we treat the root cause.

The liar gave Aunt Li a positive psychological suggestion, thinking that as long as she accepted their “therapy”, the disease could be cured, and then Aunt Li would take all the The positive change is attributed to the “therapy” of the health center, and even the regular hospital examinations and drugs have been stopped.
The traditional Chinese medicine health therapy in the mouth of the staff is actually wrapping a bag of traditional Chinese medicine gauze with unknown ingredients, heating it up and placing it on the customer, claiming that it can act on acupuncture points .
And this cost may be a few dollars, which can be fooled into tens of thousands by scammers, but if you apply for a card, you can enjoy the discount. Under the persuasion of repeated bombings, Aunt Li bought dozens of packages.
The elderly’s “treatment” recordsg

The next operation is even more “underworld”. Aunt Li is 67 years old, and there is a so-called health care program to “activate kidney cells and hormones”! Do 50,000 at a time.

Being fooled step by step like this, Aunt Li spent 3 million before and after.

Seeing this, you will also be puzzled. 3 million is not a small amount. It may be the life-saving money for the retirement in the future. How can you spend it? Is this money so easy to deceive?
Here, we also have to “admiration” the psychological tactics of the liar, they have thought of your doubts.
The clerk told Aunt Li that there are many preferential conditions in this store. Every year, there will be 1 million points, which is equivalent to 1 million yuan in cash. You cannot withdraw cash, but you can enjoy it for life, but the premise is Is to spend more than 3 million yuan. Only 50,000 is enough!
From free to 3 million, and then to lifetime points, this is the use of the psychology of human nature like greed for cheap.
The greed for cheap often means that people think that possession is greater than paying, and they can even possess without paying. Therefore, people are willing to invest in such a model under this cognitive situation, even regardless of everything.
In addition, the store also claims that Auntie Li can enjoy elderly care services here. It is said that the boss opened a nursing home in Beijing, because Aunt Li is a diamond member, and she can live in it for free when she is old.
But when asked if there is a contract, Auntie Li said that she did not get a contract. Really a master of cakes!

Fortunately, Aunt Li’s daughter discovered her mother’s abnormality in time and reported the situation to the Market Supervision Bureau and other departments.
On the morning of August 21, 2021, the party concerned has fully refunded the consumer’s consumption amount of 2.95 million yuan.
In view of the fact that the parties involved are suspected of criminal fraud, the Market Supervision Bureau has transferred the case to the public security organs for handling, which is very heartening!

In the past, Zhang Wuben, a master of mung bean, “returned the disease that he ate”, and then there was a genius doctor universe who openly made a “decision against the ancestors” and sold you the secret recipe of his ancestors.

Criminologist Hans von Hentiich noted as early as the 1940s:
Older people hold most of the wealth accumulation and wealth giving.
At the same time, they are weak physically and mentally. The combination of wealth and physical and mental fragility puts older people at risk.
After incomplete statistics, we have found three high-incidence areas of parents being deceived. Children should pay attention to their parents’ safety.
01
Massage and physiotherapy shops under the banner of traditional Chinese medicine health care, many have no qualifications and use free fees to attract middle-aged and elderly customers. As long as they enter the shop, all kinds of hidden consumption Make you invincible.

02
Free physical examination, low-cost travel, product presentations, and expert anti-cancer lectures, For the elderly with illness and anxiety , it’s really hard not to get excited.
In the name of health careTourism products are also the hardest hit area for scams. On the surface, travel is free, but the health products you pay for are implicitly priced.

Wealth management products in the pension field also need to be carefully screened, and beware of illegal fundraising!
Some elderly people believe in low investment and high return, and put their life savings into financial management scams; some people fall into the trap of “house-for-age”, and in the end, no one is old-aged, and they even get into the only real estate .

Some classmates sighed that this year’s parents are too difficult to take care of, I understand everything you say, but parents are not obedient!
Children’s persuasion is 10,000 words, how about a liar?
From this perspective, these scam news seem to be warning the elderly, but in fact they are warning children – Our care for parents is too lacking!
In today’s ageing world, there are more and more empty-nest elderly people in China, and the elderly first need a sense of belonging.
Salesman’s “tenderness” comes into play when this need to be cared for is not met in the family.
Therefore, it is better to chat with the elderly more often, tell them about various scams by chatting about the news, and get vaccinated in advance, rather than complaining when something goes wrong.
After all, children’s physical and mental care is not lacking, and liars have fewer opportunities.
If there are such stories around you, please also leave a message in the comment area, the more the routine is exposed, the less people will be fooled.
